Mathias Holmgrem interviews Bonnitta Roy, originally published as a single article on crisp.se Part 1 of this article is here. Can you give us a short introduction of your experience and what you enjoy working with? I have always been fascinated with the natural world. As I child I would spend summer evenings watching ants come and go, carrying their eggs, building their nests, foraging for food and occasionally squabbling over territory. This led to an attraction toward natural systems design in gardening and farming, but also as it applies to companies, education and community associations. I studied neuroscience and

By Brent Lowe and originally published at leadtogether.co Power is woven through all our relationships, shaping our interactions and permeating our organizations. Rarely, however, do we acknowledge it. It’s easy to have good intentions and still build an organization full of powerless people. Power is an emotive issue in organizations. Individuals who feel disempowered experience frustration and resentment, while those with power often struggle to manage their positional authority. Today, the structures that have traditionally shaped power dynamics in organizations are being challenged by new models of leadership. But what are these emerging forms of leadership? And how do they

By Sally McCutchion and originally published on medium.com When your business is in its infancy, and it’s just you and your co-founder or maybe a small team of people who were involved since day one, consensus-think is one of the joys of working together. That time when you can all sit around one table and be fully aligned to the vision, purpose and mission is an exciting and fulfilling time. It often feels like you can read each other’s minds because you’re so close to the source moment of the business. The potency of the vision and the direction you’re heading

Catherine Jaeger interviews John Thompson in this podcast. Originally published on Inspired Teams John Thompson of The PCO Group returns with his passion for unleashing intrinsic motivation, which has a critical role in the human state, and therefore plays out into a team and more broadly into an organization. When tapping into intrinsic motivation, there is “no difference between being a leader and being human” since every human has leadership within them. This principle is the foundation of John’s proposal of breaking apart the 3 roles of a traditional manager – subject matter expert, developing humans, and team organization. We

By Sally McCutchion and originally published on medium.com Almost every client I’ve ever worked with, has said to me at some stage: “We need to talk about compensation…” It’s never the lead-in project, but once you start unpacking how things are working (or not working) within your business, it’s inevitable that the subject of compensation appears on the radar. How we pay our people sets the standard for value, fairness, transparency, viability and trust. …But it can also be a much feared and avoided subject on account of its innate power and emotion. So I wanted to break down the principles

Brent Lowe, Susan Basterfield and Travis Marsh co-authors of Lead Together book, discuss recruiting and self-managing organisations. Originally available on YouTube. One way or another we all learn how important a good recruiting process can be. All it takes is one bad hire… or two… or three before we realize the cost of under-investing in recruiting. The most successful teams make recruiting a top priority. For teams embracing a philosophy of leading together—such as self-management or decentralized leadership—recruiting takes on even greater importance.
